Music reviews of Skyline Firedance
Music Review: Quintessential David Lanz
Rating: 5 Stars
To start off, if you got here by mistake, and are wondering who the heck this David Lanz guy is, BUY THIS ALBUM, because if you have any spirit whatsoever, it will practically blow your mind. This album, to me, is probably the album that shows the entirety of David Lanz's career over any other. While it is his most energetic solo album, and probably most energetic overall, he combines fiery pieces like "Vesuvius" and "Firedance" with more mellow ones such as "the Crane," as well as solo and orchestral versions of each song, to create a musical masterpiece. I have only played piano for a little over a year and a half, and this album at the moment has run full circle for me; the first piece of his that I played was "Firedance" and the latest one is "the Crane." Even though I have heard this album many times, I pick up new elements seemingly every time I listen to it. Also, I would recommend David Lanz' work in general to pianists of any level. I consider his pieces much like learning chess: easy to learn, hard to master. Most or all of them have a "hook," or a "chorus" to them, some pattern that he returns to several times, yet he is so good at just changing that pattern slightly, adding a chord here or transposing it into a different key, that it becomes difficult to master his songs. Also, while these songs, to an untrained ear or to someone who isn't listening for it, seem to be relatively simple, it is only when you start playing them that you realize Lanz' true piano-playing talent. He has extreme control over the dynamics of his hands- such that at times you don't hear half the notes in the left hand unless you listening to them, and he has some of the hardest, quickest patterns for the right hand on this album that I have ever played. "Dark Horse," one of my favorites, is a perfect example. It is extremely quick and played much of the time in quarter-note triplets (which Lanz loves composing in), to a point where I can barely play maybe an eighth of the song at the tempo he plays it. David Lanz is probably one of the best contemporary pianists, and while it's a shame he didn't win the Best New Age Grammy for "East of the Moon" this year, I consider it an atrocity that this album, or any song from this album, wasn't nominated for a Grammy when it came out eleven years ago.
